Attracting Insects
Plant annuals and perennials to attract insects.
Clematis can be propagated by taking internodal cuttings.
Tidy up fallen leaves, flowers, compost in glasshouses to prevent potential pest and disease problems.
Do not forget to water plants regularly, to ensure healthy development of fruits.
It is time to take semi-ripe cuttings of shrubs such as Choisya, Hydrangea, Philadelphus.
If possible, water tree, bush, cane fruit thoroughly once every 7 to 10 days during dry spells.
Ensure newly planted trees and shrubs do not dry out: They often need much more water than imagined.
Did you already look out for tall, flowering stalks on established bamboos and removed them? They can weaken the plants!
If staking was neglected earlier in the season, prop up tall perennials such as lupins, delphiniums and gladioli.
Some children may be uninterested in the garden, but are fascinated with potted cacti or with carnivorous plants.
